NYC: Drop $70,000 In 3 Days

A true baller never lets the night end at dinner, so it's time for you to stroll into one of New York's elite clubs. Choose between Bungalow 8 in West Chelsea and Lotus, a supper club on West 14th Street. Both clubs are upscale and popular with celebrities, so be prepared to flash your cash and break out the smooth talk in the V.I.P. section.

Bottles are expensive at both venues (a Veuve Clicquot Balthazar runs $3,000 before the automatic 20% gratuity), so come prepared.

Price tag for day one: From $25,000 to $40,000.

Day 2: Fine country living

To begin your second day in the city, head for brunch at Le Parker Meridien, a hotel just south of Central Park. The Meridien is home to Norma's, an elegant restaurant where you can grab a fine meal of blueberry pancakes (a classic choice), banana-macadamia nut flapjacks, foie gras French toast, or even a $1,000 plate of a Sevruga caviar-based frittata. While breakfasting like a champ, you can go over your plans for the day, which actually involve leaving the city.

escape to the hamptons

New York is the city that never sleeps, and as such it can be a hectic place to live in. Accordingly, many of its inhabitants feel the need to escape, and the well-heeled among them escape to the Hamptons. Located on the eastern tip of Long Island and dotted with amazing beachside mansions, the hamlets here are home to many a celebrity.

Those who don't actually live in the Hamptons but wish to experience the lavishness of the area can easily rent out a sprawling home for a night, a weekend or longer.

This is exactly what you will do on day two: Gather a big crew of your friends and peruse the Hamptons rentals listings to choose a prime house for the night. Note that many residences are only available for rent based on a three-night minimum.

A typical six-bedroom, five-bathroom opulent home in the Hamptons can be had for a summer weekend for $5,500. Owners are well aware of the scale of amenities that is expected in exchange for such an exorbitant fee, so a home like this will most probably boast richly furnished living and lounging areas, the best in home entertainment equipment, at least one private pool, and enough land to accommodate dozens of friends over for an outdoor party.
